I also think "accessibility" is a very wellknown term these

I don't think the issue was that the target users wouldn't understand
it, but that the non-target (the *other* 97% of) users wouldn't
understand it. The term "accessibility" doesn't seem to have gotten a
significant foothold in the mainstream english lexicon yet.
I personally think that "Universal Access" is a much more "accessible"
term for mainstream users. "Accessibility" alone is too vague without
prior knowledge, I believe... I could imagine it standing for "remote
login services", "physical input devices", "user/permissions
management", "graphical user interface", "screensaver lockout", "gdm",
or anything that has to do with being able to access a computer.
